Democratic Frontliners in key battleground districts are making the contrast between them and their extreme Republican opponents clear when it comes to protecting access to abortion.
A new Associated Press report is highlighting Republican candidates’ extreme anti-choice positions and what Democratic Frontliners are doing to make the 2022 choice clear to voters:
-
Rep. Sharice Davids (KS-03), whose likely Republican opponent, Amanda Adkins, wants to ban abortion without exceptions;
-
Rep. Angie Craig (MN-02), whose likely Republican opponent, Tyler Kistner, supports allowing states to ban abortion with no exceptions;
-
Rep. Cindy Axne (IA-03), whose Republican opponent, Zach Nunn, wants to ban abortion nationwide without exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of mother;
-
Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI-07), whose likely Republican opponent, Tom Barrett, supports banning abortion without exceptions for rape or incest and has called himself pro-life with “no exceptions”;
-
Rep. Abigail Spanberger (VA-07), whose Republican opponent, Yesli Vega, falsely suggested women are less likely to get pregnant from rape;
-
Rep. Elaine Luria (VA-02), whose Republican opponent, Jen Kiggans, wants to ban abortion nationwide;
-
And Rep. Susan Wild (PA-07), whose Republican opponent, Lisa Scheller, said she could support a bill to ban abortion — with no exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
“These Republican candidates are seriously out-of-step with voters’ broad support for reproductive freedom,” said DCCC spokesperson Helen Kalla. “We will be reminding voters of these Republicans’ extreme positions – as House Republicans plot to ban abortion nationwide – every day until November.”
